WHAT HAS TO CHANGE?

To be a coach is to be a change agent. That’s what you do! That is also why we spend Day 5 in Coaching Mastery on the Psychology of Change and that’s when we introduce the Axes of Change. Within the psychology of change, we also introduce kinds of change (generative and remedial), levels of change (using Bateson’s levels of learning), and models of change.

It is at that point that we then introduce the two loops of change which are inherent in the Axes of Change— the readiness loop which prepares a person for change by tapping into the person’s motivation and commitment and then the implementation of change which taps into the person’s creativity and integration of change. In doing this, the design is that as a Meta-Coach you learn four coaching conversations.

In the readiness loop you prepare a person for change by conducting two coaching conversations —motivation and decision. You also prepare for change by identifying specifically what has to change.
